Below please find our timetable for the 2024-2025 School Year.  

Personal Learning Time

Personalized Learning Time (PLT) is a more open-ended opportunity for students to work either independently or with staff support.  Below are some of the principles of PLT.

• All students are encouraged to attend PLT
• Students can be asked to attend important meetings/assemblies given notice from the school.  Please refer to the school calendar for dates.  
• Teachers will be available for 100 minutes per week to support PLT
• Staff PLT/Prep time will be balanced so that half of all teachers are always available to support students on each day.

Collaboration Time

PLT is replaced with Collaboration Time 8 times per year. McRoberts staff work collaboratively to enrich their teaching practices, address various learning and administrative needs, and continue building a welcoming school community.  The inclusion of collaborative time for staff has been invaluable, as it allows our large staff with diverse schedules to communicate and problem-solve issues regarding changing curriculum and assessment, share inclusive classroom practices, and build engaging lessons for our students.  This in turn helps teachers improve our feedback to students and parents when reporting, to make education more transparent to our community.  Of course, we recognize that learning encompasses not only academic factors, but social factors as well, and collaboration provides teachers the space to plan and support students’ extracurricular passions and create safe spaces for students to explore those interests.
